Finding photos for the office

-
The management team of my company of mostly men working in Information Technology decided one fine morning that "Hang on, we can't live and work like this! we got to get some colours and art here. What could we do?
"I know, let's get some photos from members of staff on here"... "Knowing those geeks out there, we better put some boundaries!"... Whaaaat?

Ok, it didn't go like that, I wasn't in the meeting and I'm sure the idea was good. The team decided that we nee a Surrey Hills theme on the walls, seeing we work very close to many. But Photos?!? hello? I can't let that opportunity go. I need to get at least one photo on the wall.

So, with the amazing support of my other half who I woke up at 7.30, and I went out hunting for photos. I did make it up to her with a really nice breakfast in a farm shop though. We even treated ourselves to Macarons. It was my first time and she couldn't believe it! Come on, i didn't even know what they were. I come from Mauritius for god's sake and we've got napolitaine! and it can't be beaten. She enjoyed those macarons real well and so did I. :)

Anyway.. back to photos. We worked hard that cold morning to get some nice shots. We both had our respective camera and we snapped. I sent a number of photos to Jamie, my manager who was in charge of office decoration and I ended up having 8 photos out of 14 on the wall. Here they are.



The post office box - most people's favourite based on the compliments I received.




The swan in the misty lake.




I took this for my colleague Delio as he is a fan of sheep for some reasons. But Jamie like those two photos.

 



My personal favourite:

This one was taken by my other half, who allowed me to use it. I really like the photo


I like that one. It was in a national trust garden. I forgot which one. It was taken two years ago.


My least favourite, but which made it through. Jamie must have liked it. :)

Reasons why you'd like to live in or visit Bristol

An impromptu visit to Bristol was planned to visit the city and get to know more about it, in an attempt to understand what we want and what kind of place we'd like to live in. Little did we know that we'll end up on Bristol Pride week-end. Our week-end and research over there brought to our attentions to why the city could be a potential location to settle down in for any young couple Reason 1: It's Just Beautiful The city is full of beauty, with the modern and historical architecture side by side. Old warehouses and factories have been turned into markets, restaurants, theatres rather than left to rot. We have found run down places near the city centre but they weren't that big. People seem to take pride in the appearance of their streets. We found some old shoes in which were planted flowers. An idea that we'll take on for sure   It even has its own Monopoly board. You should try it out. Just like the normal monopoly game, it contains the street that...

Camden Market

If I tell you that the famous Camden Market in London, UK started with a mere 16 stalls and on Saturdays only. Well, that was in March 1974 and a lot has changed since. It is now home to over 1000 stalls ranging from bread to expensive antiques. Unlike the high street, the traders are predominantly self employed small sole traders or family businesses. A lot of them uphold deep certain values of their own that they bring to their offering. For instance, you can have fully organic food shops, vegan, gluten free to traditional way of working with leather. Some of the things I like about the market.. 1. Coffee Starting your day with a delicious latte made with some nicely roasted coffee beans and creamy textured frothy milk from inside the market itself. Facing the bridge with the clock just behind you is where you an find on your left the entrance to one of the food section of the market. On your left would be some succulent cakes, pastries and bakes and steps away on you...
